1.5 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
SS2400T/S barfeeder feeds bars into the lathe as follows:
•
The loading mechanism takes a bar from the magazine and puts it into a fixed loading
channel.
•
The flag shifts the bar into the spindle and after it returns to back limit position.
•
The pusher is tilted into the spindle axis.
•
The pusher pushes the bar through the open clamping device against the stopper in the
tool head (SS2400T/S) or to a required position in front of the clamping device
(SS2400S).
•
The clamping device closes, and the pusher returns.
•
The lathe machines the part.
•
Next bar feed is executed, when the spindle stops and clamping device opens.
•
If the bar length is insufficient to make another part, the barfeeder sends the End of Bar
signal. The signal is tested by the lathe program which issues a command to eject the
rest of the bar and load a new bar.
•
Following the End of Bar signal the clamping device opens to enable ejection of the rest
of the bar by the pusher.
•
After ejection of the rest of the bar into the lathe workspace, the pusher tilts to upper
position, the loading mechanism takes a bar from the magazine, and the whole cycle is
repeated.
